Would you do this deal?
Hello BiggerPockets Land,
Longtime lurker, first time poster.
Looking to do a deal that would assume another investor's portfolio in a rural community that already has renters, property managers, etc. The towns are really rural, but stable with some growth; think working class C+.
Here's the top line numbers (rounded a bit):
- Offer: 400k
- Current Monthly Income: 7250
- NOI: 3200
- Vacancy assumptions based on 2018 rent rolls: 10%
- Allowing 15% for Repairs, Maintenance, Cap Ex.
- CAP 9.53%
- GRM 55
The range is 5 apartment units, 1 duplex, and 8 SFR. Units are in rentable condition, but all could use a cash infusion so the opportunity for limited forced appreciation is there; capped by market valuations for the area.
Does this look like a deal you would do? Is it crazy for a first time investor to jump into 15 units off the bat?
Thanks for any input.
